Lamont Butler - Only sign of lifeButler notched 20 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and four steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 82-69 loss to Georgia.

ImpactButler has found a new gear in conference play, logging 19 points Saturday in a signature win over Florida, and while the result wasn't the same Tuesday, he logged 20 points in a follow-up effort. He was essentially the only Kentucky starter who didn't battle foul trouble at one point, though his strong all-around effort wasn't enough to stave off the road upset. Now in his fifth and presumably final collegiate season, Butler is the second-leading scorer for the Wildcats at 14.2 ppg through 13 games.

Asa Newell - Leading scorer as Dawgs rollNewell produced 17 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 82-69 victory over Kentucky.

ImpactIt's a modest stat line on the surface, but the fact that Newell is able to produce like this game in and game out is what makes the freshman an attractive asset for fantasy managers. He was also the leading scorer for the Bulldogs here in a signature victory against a top-10 Kentucky squad, though the offensive attack was largely balanced. It doesn't appear as if a drop-off is in store for the potential NBA lottery pick.
